Drains still blocked after nearly a year

Reported via mobile in the Blocked Drain / Gully category by Chris Smith at 09:07, Wednesday 8 January 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

Hello We operate THE GEORGE AT UPTON pub on Reading Road. For nearly a year, the two drains by our car park entrance, situated on the main road, have been blocked with silt. Every time it rains, the water collects and our freshly painted building gets sprayed with dirty water. It's getting beyond a joke now. Can someone please sort it out? Thanks

Council ref: ENQ251030208

Asset ID: 290091106
